User Reviews for zolpidem oral

My sleep apnea doctor prescribed this for me when I sleep at night using my CPAP machine. The side effects of this medicine made me feel like I was seeing things and talking out of my head. I began to hallucinate too. Also, I became very weak and couldn’t walk when I took it. I will never take this medicine again.

The medication changed my life for the better and has helped me sleep. I have experienced in lower dosages that it would only relieve my anxiety and make me be productive without the intent of sleep

I'm from USA and i usually take Zolpidem Tartrate 10mg before go to sleep. It still helps me a lot even i've been already on it for about 1 year from now so I don't know if I'm addicted or not but for sure i sleep like a baby ! I order it online like most of those that don't have a medical prescription and i get it from offertunnel.com in about 5/6 days anonymously and without Customs issues.

Great sleep medication. I was on diazepam and it did not work for me. However, the only prescribed sleep medication that gives me 7-8 hours of sleep is Zolpidem Tartrate 5 mg.

I have been taking generic ambian for awhile with no issues but our Walgreens just switched to AUROBINDO generic and it’s terrible . Not only do I have problems falling asleep but I started to get depression , nausea , headaches. Never felt this before until this past month of taking this brand of zolpidem . It’s very concerning what is in this medication.

It helps me fall asleep but it is not 100 percent sleep for 8 full hours. Has some side effects like making a sandwich in the middle of the night but not eating it etc. Definitely not the Halcion that we used to get for sleep.

This is a good sleep aid. I have struggled with sleep for as long as I can remember. I have always had an issue with "shutting down" and when I do fall asleep, staying asleep. This medication definitely helps me get more restful sleep. I also do not experience any tiredness the next day. For the most part I feel rested and are able to function normally.

I have been suffering with Insomnia on and off for around 12 years. After 3 appointments with my GP over 3 years I am banging my head against a brick wall because he will not give me any sleep medication including Zolpidem. I took matters into my own hands as a result 3 years ago after extensive research and decided to grow some Cannabis plants to produce the oil for sleep only. It made one hell of a difference to me and has been a life saver. I don't particularly like the drunk feeling though before sleep but I usually sleep through it and when I awake the effect has almost gone. Until very recently I didn't know you could buy Zolpidem online but I had my 1st lot of pills 4 months ago, 30 10mg pills which cost me £40. I only use them occasionally as I don't want to build up a tolerance to them and so use the Cannabis oil on most nights. Sominex, an over the counter medication also works quite well but I break them in half because of the grogginess the next morning but they suit me much better than the Nytol One a Night as they rarely worked. I havent had any medication at all for the last 3 days of writing this and last night I only got 3 hours sleep. If I take my Cannabis oil (I put 0.3mg in a gelatin capsule) and also have a Zolpidem I usually get around 9 hours sleep but I rarely do that. If I have a full Zolpidem on it's own I can get around 6 hours sleep with no side effects. The only side effect with the Cannabis oil other than the dizziness is a very dry mouth if you wake up in the middle of the night. Despite what you hear on the news, Cannabis is NOT addictive and you cannot overdose on it. If anyone has any questions I'm happy to help if you want to email me. johncon2 at hotmail.com.Read More Read Less

I take Teva Zolpidem 10mg when I always wake in middle of the night and can not get back off to sleep. Usually about 2-3 in morning. I the n sleep until about 9am. This suits me fine as I am retired from work ???

This has put me to sleep for years. I would like to get off them but,I don't sleep a wink if I don't take it. ED is a big problem over long term use for me and have started to notice other symptoms such as anxiety, mood swings, unfocused thoughts. I've just started antidepressants to relieve some of f that but there are side effects that add to the ED problem. How do you just give on sex????? sleep!???

I take zolipdem. Asleep within 20mins and normally can sleep 8 hrs. Helps me sleep doesn't keep me asleep. Prior, 4 hrs was a great sleep. No ill effects next day, no other issues.

10mg for almost 20 years now. If I was reviewing brand name Ambien, then it gets ten stars across the board. I used to be able to take that. When I did, I would have about 15 minutes to get to where I was sleeping for the night. Since being switched to generic it has been considerably less effective. I'm a firm believer that generics are not always equivalent, and my experience here bears that out. I can sometimes take one orally and have zero effect. Different generic manufacturers produce different effects, too. At one point my insurance allowed me to get Edluar (sub-lingual), and it was wonderful. 10 minutes and I was asleep. Since they disallowed it, I decided to try dissolving the ordinary immediate release under my tongue to varying success. For the most part it works great. It isn't really all that bad in terms of taste, so long as I keep it trapped tightly with my tongue. If you try it, place it under your tongue just as you are turning out your light to go to sleep. It takes a bit to dissolve completely, but probably 70% of the time I'm asleep before it has finished. I rarely get an amnesiac effect using this method. That said, there are still times where I feel no effect, and may have to take a second. Bear in mind that this is designed to put you to sleep, not keep you asleep. Half-life is ~3 hours. However, I've found that if I am able to fall asleep initially, I am almost always able to get back to sleep if I do wake in the night. I would estimate an average of 7-8 hours of decent sleep. My insomnia is related to deeper mental health issues, so your experience may be better.Read More Read Less

Overall good experience. However, about 30 minutes after taking Zolpidem I have and urge to eat snacks. Sometimes like there is no tomorrow.

I'm from UK and i usually take 10mg zolpidem before go to sleep. It still helps me a lot even i've been already on it for about 1 year from now so I don't know if I'm addicted or not but for sure i sleep like a baby !

I have to cut pill in half, sometimes thirds, because full pill turns me into a useless zombie following day. I take 15 minutes before laying down, gets me to sleep and only wake 2-3 times during sleep, mainly to readjust position. Dream well. However, even with just half a pill, I can't get myself out of bed for about 10-12 hours, I experience severe vertigo for 1-3 hours accompanied by 4-5 hours of dopiness, and experience a near total loss of meaningful cognitive function and any motivation to get anything done. Zolpidem (generic) is NOT to be compared to Ambien, as Ambien has none of these awful side effects. Sadly, the existence of Zolpidem and price-gouging in the US has prevented insurance coverage for Ambien and purchase of Ambien for the millions of us without insurance. Zolpidem is not safe, for hours after waking up I am still unable to drive without being under the influence. FDA should take this drug off the US market. In the meantime, it would be much safer and productive, sadly, to live with chronic insomnia.Read More Read Less

The peach colored Zolpidem my pharmacy just used to fill my prescription is absolutely NOT real Ambien and is completely ineffective! What a waste of a couple nights with zero sleep.

Causes unpleasant dreams on a nightly basis.

Since starting my pre-menopause years, I have had trouble sleeping. I believe it is mostly hormonal. The doctor put me on this drug. I did get more sleep but did still wakeup several times a night. I would have liked to keep taking it. However, I found that a few days after taking it, I became severely anxious and depressed. I am typically not like that. I then went off the drug for a while. Desperate again for sleep, I went back on it. Again, I found myself in a deep depression and anxiety. I repeated this cycle several times so I am now sure it is the drug. I really wanted to keep taking this because I did get more sleep. I have to say, though, my husband is also on it and does very well on it. So, it likely depends on your genetics and how this drug will personally impact you. I believe it is worth trying because it did improve sleep quality. Just for me, the resulting severe anxiety was far too difficult as a side effect. Read More Read Less
